[Motorola Photon 4G] bluedonut:
This was the key (I hope, at least). I realized I was using the internal storage SD mount for my saves. I changed the directory to sd-ext and created a new folder there to perform the app & data save.

It's working through a restore right now, but I may be close.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bluedonut:
Chalk this up to inexperience. I was backing up to the internal SD, not the external. Once I restated to external, it worked pretty well. Now just some tweaking to be done.

Thanks all for your help!
[HTC Desire S] NathanRandom:
I'm having problems with my girlfriend's Desire S. I installed CyanogenMod the day it was purchased, and have had no major problems with it at all, up until last night. Apps from the Market wouldn't update, throwing out a standard error with the option to force close. On restarting the phone thanks to it crashing, the phone now boots to the HTC logo and doesn't get any further.

I have CWM installed and I'm still able to access the bootloader. I've scoured this forum and many others trying to find a solutions, and wouldn't be posting for help if I knew there was some way of getting this sorted without bothering you guys. It appears to be a somewhat common problem, but some of it goes straight over my head. I've tried flashing a new recovery, wiping the cache, a factory reset but none of it seems to register. Can't install a new ROM

It appears it's the dreaded "eMMC" issue, but before I'm reluctant to send it off given it's S-OFF, so thought I'd throw it out there. I understand it's an issue that's cropped up a fair few times but I'm tearing my hair out trying to sort it and really don't know what to do with it. Any suggestions would be super helpful.

Not sure if this information helps at all:

Revolutionary Hboot 6.98.1002

Hboot Factory Rest option just freezes phone.

Fastboot seems to register with PC, but trying to install a new recovery or new hboot brings about an "error: cannot load 'hboot.img/recovery.img' in cmd.

Install ZIP from SD Card brings the following error:

"E:Error in /sdcard/updatecm-7.1.0-DesireS-signed.zip

(Status 1)

Installation aborted."

Attempted to install 4EXT Recovery via CWM though when restarting phone it's still just CWM. Probably doing this totally wrong but again not really sure how to go about it to fix Cache issue.

Also get the standard E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command, etc errors on using CWM.

Thanks in advance, any help is absolutely appreciated, and would stop my girlfriend having to use, in her words, a "crappy, dying, useless Sony Ericsson," after only having this one for less than a month.

Nathan.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Flash 4EXT recovery via fastboot. Use search.

If you still can access recovery and/or bootloader, there may still be hope. Based on research, complete eMMC failure will just give you a vibrating phone, that's it.

Hint!
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:

[HTC Desire S] NathanRandom:
Thanks guys for the quick replies, really appreciate the help.

Skanob, I've tried to Flash 4EXT recovery via flashboot, but it never seems to move past "writing 'recovery'. . . Should it take a particularly long time or pretty much straight away? Also, when in flashboot USB I find I'm unable to move up or down, as if flashboot has crashed as soon as it attempts to flash recovery.

amidabuddha, when I boot into recovery and use cmddmesg | grep mmc0, I get the error message "'cmddmesg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Again, really appreciate the help. I try to steer clear of starting help threads if possible but as it's not my phone I really wanted to get this fixed for her as soon as possible, and I'm a complete noob.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
the command is:

dmesg | grep mmc0

copy it from here and paste it to your command prompt
[HTC Desire S] NathanRandom:
Sorry, I get the same error with that command. Really at a loss as to what I should do now.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
sorry, my miss I did not add the "adb shell" command in my guide

type in the command prompt:

adb devices [I](your device serial number should be listed)[/I]
adb shell
dmesg | grep mmc0

try this and if the output is positive continue with the steps described in the guide

Help, I Broke My phone!!

A big hello to the fans of this forum, I would like to explain my problem and I will so much appreciate your answers:

I try to flash-Android_Revolution_HD 4G_6.1.5 [ROM] on my HTC_Desire_S, after I reboot and waited several minutes, the screen remained blank with no access to my phone several times but no available and more when I reboot in recovery mode, i push on recovery but the screen remains blank and I can not access the ClockworkMod menu to uninstall the ROM bleow.!.

My God, what shall I do??
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
search for RUU
[HTC Desire S] NathanRandom:
Thanks for that, I don't get any of the error messages that would indicate a fried chip which is a relief!

However I'm still a little confused as to the next best step. The SD card had an error on it when connecting it to a PC and needed to be formatted, there isn't a backup of the ROM on their. I've got Revolutionary Hboot 6.98.1002.

When I try to factory reset using Revolutionary, it seems to just stall and not do anything, crashing and not letting me select any other options.

I've also tried flashing a stock ROM via fastboot USB with the RUU, and it again just crashes and needs a hard reset.

Trying to install CM7 via ClockworkMod also doesn't work. Says it's installing update then after about 5 minutes get the following:

"E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.1.0-DesireS-signed.zip

(Status 1)

Installation aborted."

When I switch on the phone and it boots to HBOOT, I get an error stating that "Loading... P88IMG not found. No image or wrong image." When I place P88IMG onto SD Card and start hboot, it says it's updating and then just stays that way, crashing the phone. Again.

Sorry to throw a wall of errors at you guys.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Do not be sorry the purpose of this forum is to ask and answer :) The good news are that your eMMC is still in shape!

Now wipe the cache partition from ClockworkMod (there is an option in the menu) and reboot the phone

If no sucess follow the steps described here

This will bring you back to Stock.

Then you can S-OFF and flash a custom ROM again if you like :)

Good luck
[HTC Desire S] NathanRandom:
But which of those steps I mentioned is the correct thing to be doing? I'm confused as to what I should do now once I've wiped the cache and rebooted the phone.

Also I've tried the steps you mentioned, but the file it created on the SDCard was 0bytes and brings up nothing when I open it in Hex Editor. It's only actually written the file once, other times it's appeared to but nothings there when I move the card to the PC.

I'm fairly certain of the ROM needed as it was a branded Vodafone unit sold in the UK. Using the links provided to change hboot, in what order should they be used? When trying to flash hboot I receive the following error:

2767 KB/s (1048576 bytes in 0.370s)

chmod: /data/local/tmp/hboot.img: Not a directory

Please accept superuser request on your phone

/sbin/sh: su: not found

Press any key to continue . . .

And when placing PG88IMG onto SD Card, when phone attempts to update it simply crashed hboot, which I'm assuming is to do with the hboot being the wrong version needed.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Ok, since I am not much experienced with branded devices I made some research across the forum and probably flashing this hboot on a branded device will be risky.

Create a GoldCard (look in the index thread in Android Development subforum for a guide). Then download and install RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1_Radio_20.28b.30.08 05U_38.03.02.15_M_release. With the GoldCard it should overwrite everything on your device.

Try this and post back.

EDIT: note that not every SDcard is suitable for a GoldCard. Recommended is a 2 GB one.
[HTC Desire S] NathanRandom:
After trying multiple lutions I decided to pop into the Vodafone store yesterday and get it sent away. I'm sure they'll probably send it back and claim a void warranty but it's worth a shot, I got the guy there to mention it was due to the Update All Market error, so hoping the fact it was rooted doesn't play too much of a role.

Thanks for your help, may not have managed to sort it myself in the end but it was definitely appreciated.

I just ordered all three lenses from Photojojo dot com. I don't have the biggest expectations, but I was bored at work and got the urge to order a gadget.

Some say it may mess with the internal compass, but only when the lens is on.

I will update with some sample photos when i get it. I guess the fisheye and 8M is a nice combo.

Which one tends to be better? Usually for HTC phones I find the aosp roms to trump the sense roms, but on my old Samsung Vibrant the aosp roms ALL had horrendous battery life!

I tried kj3 and cm7 #116 with siyah kernel on both and battery was the identical, cm7 felt smoother though. But some guys are able to squeeze 2 days of battery use while i can only do 1 day, so it also depends what apps you have running and how much you use the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewxu:
The same battery life? Interesting. In that case I'll probably choose Samsung roms for all the extra features and codec compatibilities.

Please! More opinions and thoughts!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Yup identical, i remember seeing people posting these great 2day battery life shots and they were all on samsung roms so i decided to give it a try. After i loaded the samsung rom and all of my apps/widgets from my cm7 rom the battery life was identical at the end of the day. I do miss that codec compatibility but mx video player takes care of that with ease.

As long as my display has consumed 70-75% at the end of my day (when my battery went from 100% to 20%) I don't bother looking at ways to eliminate the "drain" that some users have. Most, if not all, of the drain is installed on the outside of the screen.

Sure, when I put it in airplane modus inside a vault it lasts more than 5 days. Yay I must be a super tweaker.

[Motorola Droid 3] hotpl8:
recently I have attempted to flash the monster rom to my droid 3 and I havent had success it was 1.2 version and i used D3 Safestrap. I went into safe mode then installed zip from my sd card and it loaded and was successful. Then went in to reg mode to boot up ( because it is not able to in safe) and nothing changed i went into the about phone and it does not show a new rom was loaded nor does anything look different. Did i miss a step? what happened?:confused:
[Motorola Droid 3] TBBle:
Sounds like it didn't work. The point of safe mode is that it's a separate system to non-safe mode, so non-safe mode should still work exactly like it did.

So your phone not booting in safe mode means that the ROM's not working or whatever. Switching to non-safe mode is like flashing back to the backup before you installed the ROM, it _should_ not look any different.
[Motorola Droid 3] hotpl8:
Ok so then that mean even though it says successfull it is in fact not? I am a noob, so i apologize for my ignorance.
[Motorola Droid 3] Manic_Dragon:
Did you toggle back to safe mode and reboot. That should boot up the new rom.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Unfortunately MonsterROM is not Safestrap compatible in its current form. You need to unzip it, delete a folder and rezip it for use inside of Safestrap. There's a post somewhere within the Safestrap discussion of the Android Development section that indicates what to do.
[Motorola Droid 3] hotpl8:
I did and it wont go past the multicore display it just goes blank after
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
SBF, reroot, then just install the other bootloader. Don't use Safestrap. I had the same problem with Monster. Someone probably should convert it.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBlaster-303:
ok I just point out some things about microsoft tellme and italian language I know it's only spoken in italy and is difficult but it's not my fault I was born here and it's my 1st language:

in help section (say: aiuto) there are orthographic errors

Chiama (call section)

Chiama quanluno nella tua rubrica ---------> Chiama qualcuno nella tua rubrica

Apri (open section)

Avvia un applicazione insallata ----------> Avvia un' applicazione installata

With Open app and Call someone is good and works almost flawlessy

I don't know if it's me but when you say text messages is not very good to understand italian and in 90% cases is better to write, 100% cases if the ambient is noisy

only if you say 2 words like "verb" "" he understands flawlessy

When Tellme says the name of the person he don't know and don't say accents

if there's a surname ending with an accented letter he simply don't say the last letter (ex. for surname Buganè he says only Bugan)

Now I would really like to know how are things with accents in french language too, to have a comparison

my 2 cents
[Motorola Droid 3] j84lee:
First I need to apologize my poor English. Hope you can understand.

I'm a Chinese Student study in the U.S. right now.

I Just bought a second hand Verizon Droid 3. I bought a SIM unlock code, and flashed the xt883 Chinese ROM(57.1.40 first then update to 57.1.60). I typed *#*#2468#*#* for unlocking gsm network.

However, I found out I can't get 3G but only EDGE!!!!!!!!

i'm using t-mobile. I checked that the wcdma band is 2100 and I think xt862 support that right?

Any idea?
[Motorola Droid 3] bgdwiepp:
Actually, i hear a lot of t mobiles 3g is 1700mhz aws
[Motorola Droid 3] j84lee:
I think it should be 1700/2100.
[Motorola Droid 3] j84lee:
Is there any one using this phone in tmobile?
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
It is not possible to get 3G on T-Mobile USA with D3 because it lacks the necessary hardware. It is not a software issue.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I wanna say they use 700 MHz which you have to get custom phones for them to get 3g. Sorry you're screwed. At least you got edge.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Maybe AT&T will work as I know the bands are right.
[Motorola Droid 3] j84lee:
I went to tmobile yesterday, and confirm unlock phone just don't work at there 3G/4G because the technology is different......

I use prepay plan. So i just switch to Verizon. and xt883 rom doesn't work.... so I have to flash back to xt862 rom. That means, if I went back to China, I have to flash it to xt883 again to use it in China....
